2020-07-08 Thread Stanislav Horáček
Dear board, I am not against the discussion about "editions", however I find the current implementation to be very unhelpful and misleading. "Intended for individual use" part will be misunderstood as "forbidden for not individual use", discouraging the users. I understand the motivation to

Hello TDF board, all, since the board asked for feedback on the "Personal Edition" tagline and it was already amply provided by others, allow me to add my old contributor voice to this choir of opinions: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1280753358605881352.html Its short and fits in four

Thanks for your suggestions Aravind. Adding a tag to LibreOffice is not unavoidable, that's why we are looking for feedback from the Community. However, we feel that there is a need to clearly state that LibreOffice is a Community effort and that those that can should participate to this effort.

Hi Gerry, as you very well stated LibreOffice is being used by all sorts of individuals and organisation of all types and sizes which is fantastic but it makes it also difficult to get the right message to the right people. That's why we are working with the various teams and consulting the

In my opinion, and based on recent experience, I consider it necessary for TDF to be open to community participation in a more modern and accessible way to everyone. In this sense, it is clear that the use of mailing lists, IRC/Telegram channels does not allow to reach the majority of

What if as part of the $5 (or $2, something accessible) annual co-op membership with Libreoffice you got access to the support forums? Those who wanted to spend the time to help support the project to provide free tech support to others would feel good knowing that the people they were helping

Hopes this works as I've never used a mailing list before.. 1) I'm making the assumption, not having this information, that Collabora Office is cheaper than Microsoft Office and other Office Suite software. How much cheaper is it? If it's just as functional as competitors but it is less

[board-discuss] Regarding the label "Personal Edition"

2020-07-08 Thread Aravind Palla
The label "Personal Edition" mentioned in the LibreOffice Development branch stating that it is intended for individual use, I feel is a wrong direction in which the office suite is heading. The term "Personal Edition" and the terminology "intended for individual use" strongly demotivates the

Hi all,   since the new marketing plan is heavily under discussion, I would like to point to one term where the marketing plan is very imprecise:   There is no such thing as a homogenous "enterprise" that leads to a certain level of software support services needs or that is per se 'suitable'
